Chapter 9 - 9: Battle Against the Zubat Leader
"Murkrow, hang in there a little longer! Keep the Tailwind up!" Cain watched his exhausted Murkrow and encouraged him.
"Caw!" Murkrow screeched with determination in the air. Today's battle had him incredibly excited. Although his body was tired, facing the Zubat leader, clearly stronger than the previous ones, filled him with an unprecedented joy.
Cain smiled slightly at seeing Murkrow's enthusiasm. His Pokémon's fighting spirit made him feel very satisfied.
"Chii chii!" The Zubat leader screeched angrily. This Pokémon and his trainer in front of him had turned his band into a bunch of weak followers.
The Zubat leader, with relatively high intelligence, clearly noticed that the weak human in front of him wasn't a major physical threat.
The setting sun made him feel stronger, and his energy increased.
With a sharp flap of his wings, the Zubat leader emitted a bloody stench from his mouth, as dark energy swirled around his sharp fangs.
Dark-type attack, Bite!
Seeing that the Zubat leader's target was Cain, Murkrow quickly reacted, using the last of his Tailwind boost to intercept.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer Cain remained. He had faced death before, and now he could approach any situation with a cool mind.
"Murkrow, use Feint Attack!"
